Trail Building


I had a nice day helping put in new trail at Crested Butte. CBMR staff, USFS staff, CBMBA, and over 80 volunteers showed up to build about 3 miles of new trail to re-route some badly rutted existing trails. The recent rain and snow made the trail easy to work. Hopefully the new section will be ready to ride for Wildflower Rush and Fat Tire 40. The new trail works up from the West Wall through open meadows, a huge aspen stand, then climbs through a loamy forest with big pines. It's going to be a beautiful middle chain ring climb and a fun, twisty descent.
